We have a great yarn shop here in town called The Black Purl, and the owner helped me get started again with some beautiful yarn by Ella Rae. I used a 5.5 mm hook and retaught myself the single stitch, working especially on consistent tension, making an infinity scarf. It is 60&#8243; around and 6&#8243; wide and took me about 8 hours total to do. It curled, so I also had to learn how to block a project as well.<\/p>\n<p>I wore it for an hour and then popped it in the mail to a friend who is in Texas (and is not used to the cold) as a surprise! I have already started a new one for myself, checking the Internet for more things to learn, and have added on double, basket, and grit stitches as more of a sampler scarf, but in the same color. It is going much faster this time!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-47172\" alt=\"photo(10)(1)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raisingjane.org\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/photo101.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome New Sisters!
